Discussion on: How Do You Pass a Method to gsub in Ruby?

[Jonathan Yeong]

Hey Tiffany! If I understand your question correctly, you're trying to call page_partials and substitute the text {{ head }} with the value of page_partials.

If that's the case. You should be able to call that method directly in the gsub. Like so:

# Where new_page_partial is the file name of whatever page partial you want to pass in.
base_html.gsub("{{ head }}", page_partials(new_page_partial))

It does look like your page_partials function might have a small bug. Here are my comments for it:

def page_partials(new_page_partial)
  # bug: page_partial isn't being referenced anywhere. You may want to use new_page_partial instead.
  pages = "site/#{page_partial}.html"
  new_page_partial = File.open(pages).read
end

Hopefully this helps! I'm happy to pair on any Ruby code!

Hey! Yeah we should definitely link up as I'm struggling with it a bit. It's pretty late on the East Coast, but I'll DM you on Twitter tomorrow if that's okay?

Yeah for sure!
